Roundhill Innovation-100 0DTE Covered Call Strategy ETF (QDTE) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that employs a synthetic covered call strategy using zero days to expiry (0DTE) options on the Innovation-100 Index to generate weekly income distributions while providing overnight exposure to the index's price return; the fund sells out-of-the-money European-style FLEX options and listed options daily at market open and maintains a synthetic long position via deep in-the-money FLEX call options. QDTE targets investors seeking high current income from option premiums amid volatility in innovation-focused large-cap equities, including technology and growth stocks from the Nasdaq-100 universe, with a net expense ratio of 0.95% and options trading available on its shares. Launched on March 7, 2024, and headquartered in New York with Roundhill Investments as its SEC-registered investment adviser, the ETF operates primarily in the United States and forms part of Roundhill's broader suite of thematic, options-income, and leveraged ETFs.
In July 2024, the fund underwent a significant rebranding, changing its name from Roundhill N-100 0DTE Covered Call Strategy ETF to its current designation to better reflect its focus on the Innovation-100 Index. QDTE contributed to Roundhill's suite of 0DTE covered call ETFs (including XDTE and RDTE) surpassing $1 billion in combined assets under management in December 2024, followed by the firm reaching $4 billion overall AUM in early 2025 and $10 billion later that year amid strong net inflows and nine new ETF launches in 2024. The ETF has delivered weekly distributions consistently, with recent payouts such as $0.803885 per share (1.85% yield) in December 2024, and exhibited a strategic evolution by shifting to writing calls on expiration day using "poor man's covered calls" for enhanced overnight capture, outperforming the Nasdaq-100 benchmark since inception as of late 2024.
